Tina's Additional
Comments:
Definitely a show stopper! I would like to see a little
more leg on this boy, but then absolute perfection is not easy
to find. This pup will be an excellent ambassador for his
breed and should be shown as often as possible. He could also
make a very good obedience prospect with his willing to please
attitude, he has the potential to go far!

Tina's Additional Comments:
Excellent attitude! This was my favorite working prospect
male! He showed some good aptitude for possible future Sch/SAR
training, not to mention agility/other interesting working
variations. Definitely a large, beautiful, willing worker!
This pup also has a lot of show potential, and should be taken
to many competitions! |

Tina's additional comments:
A very well balanced flashy pup. Although he has a low pain tolerance he showed some signs of independence and could be a bit of a challenge for the inexperienced trainer. His goal in life is to be a spoiled couch potato, but with the right motivation he could become a very dependable
obedience/working prospect!

Tina's Additional Comments:
This pup tested out to have a high pain tolerance, with a low submission. He will need an athletic, alpha leader to bring out the best in him. He is built to be an excellent jumper/agility/herding prospect, with his higher hocks and powerful body, he will be able to do a lot of things that many other pups could never do!

Tina's Additional Comments:
This pup is looking for a nice loving family with lots of children for him to play with! He does not have the confidence to be a big hero, or competition worker, he just wants to stay home and be a beautiful-large loving pet! He will give his heart to those he loves, and make an excellent (willing) obedience prospect!

This pup just loves to wag his tail & 'talk"! He will make an excellent pet for any family that is willing to spend a lot of time with him. he has a driving need for tons of attention!
With the proper guidance he can be taught to do some amazing things, certainly a good "teaching" prospect for the Eisenman method!

Exceptional working prospect! This girl has a lot of drive, and with proper training can excel in a variety of working programs, especially Sch/Agility/Herding.

Tina's Additional Comments:
An exceptional smooth coat! This girl has the potential to go far in the ring. She has a very sparkling personality, and could also become a great
obedience/agility/herding (and possible SAR, etc.) competition dog. Certainly not a couch potato, this one will need to be given lots of jobs to keep her from getting bored ;-)

This girl will need lots of socialization, but with the right training she has great potential as an

Tina's additional comments:
This pup has the potential to be a real show stopper!! She could be the nicest smooth, solid
black I have seen in a long time!! What a natural! Even though she is soft & submissive, she is a good worker when properly motivated. This girl will be more then willing to comply with her new
family's desire for some extra attention.

What a happy - playful puppy! She will make an excellent pet for someone that is looking for an outstanding - extremely intelligent companion!

Tina's Final Comments on the
Litter:
I was very impressed with the overall quality of this litter! I hope that many of these pups will be utilized to their full potential, making their parents proud! The wide range of temperaments, from very soft to hard, was expected and proves the value of LER's. Properly placed with the right owners, these puppies will soon become great ambassadors for our breed!!
Note: The temperament portion of this litter
evaluation was held outside in raw 30 degree weather. The
human participants were shivering and many of the spectators
took refuge in their vehicles. Although Tina was able to
note some movement on individual pups during the Temperament Testing, a full evaluation was not possible due to the
freezing rain and heavy snow that fell overnight, and kept falling most of the
next morning.
